District Attorney Jeff Rosell charged Stephens with committing sexual penetration, oral copulation, and sodomy against three children who are younger than 10-years-old. She is also charged with forcing lewd acts against three children who are younger than 14.

Court documents state that all of the child sex crimes happened on May 9, 2017.

Stephens is accused along with Dominican Hospital nurse Rashel Brandon, 42, of Watsonville, and neurosurgeon James Kohut, 57, of Santa Cruz.

Stephens was arrested May 12 in Arizona, and she is currently locked in the Pima County Jail. KSBW is working to obtain Stephens' mug shot.

Because of the number of victims, if a jury finds her guilty, Stephens could be sentenced to life in prison.

Brandon was arrested on May 9 at a home on Cirvelo Street in Watsonville. She is charged with eight felony counts of child sex abuse, including sodomy, oral copulation, and forcing lewd acts.

According to her Facebook page, Brandon is an ICU staff nurse at Dominican Hospital, and a mother of two. She pleaded not guilty.

Kohut worked as a neurosurgeon at Sutter Maternity and Surgery Center, as well as Dominican Hospital, for several years. The married doctor was arrested May 14 at his Santa Cruz home on 4th Avenue by Watsonville police officers.

Kohut left Palo Alto Medical Foundation last year, and he was just hired a few days ago as a neurosurgeon in Arkansas by Sparks Health System.

Nurses who worked with Kohut told KSBW that the neurosurgeon was fired from his job in Santa Cruz because he was making unwanted sexual advances toward females nurses. Dominican Hospital declined to discuss any allegations against Kohut or Brandon.
